What other way could we do instead of division to solve 2x=16? Well, for one, we could substitute numbers. Like 2x1=2, or 2x4=8. So just keep substituting numbers until you get the answer. In this case, 2x4 wont work because it equals 8. Neither would 2x1. But what happens if we keep counting up? 2x5=10, 2x6=12, 2x7=14, 2x8=16. Look back and see if any of them equal 16. The answer to the equation is 8. So "x" would turn into 8, and there was no division required to figure it out.
Is there any other way to solve this without division? Like drawing a picture to help? In my opinion, I don't think there is. I think that guessing the number or dividing is the only answer to figuring out an equation like that. However, I'm sure that many other people in the world would have another way of doing it. Maybe they even involve decimals for solving an easy problem like this!
